[TUT]Bypass Decompiling Models Error

/>Thread #77 - January 18, 2012:

Hi all!

If you're a Source™ game modders, you might come to face to one of these errors:

You face this errors while trying to decompile a Half-Life 2 Models to .smd file. In this tutorials, I will tel you how to fix (more like bypass) this problems. Here's what you need:

1. Notepad++

(Link: Notepad++ v5.9.8)

2. A .mdl file that has this errors

So, here's how to bypass this:

1. Instal Notepad++

2. Find the .mdl files>Right Click on the files>Edit with Notepad++

3. You will get this on your screen (it's code, really, written in C++ Language)

4. On the very first line, it reads like this: IDST0NULNULNULûÝà?weapons\nameofmodel.mdl

Replaced the 0 with coma (IDST,NULNULNULûÝà?weapons\nameofmodel.mdl)

5. Click Save and close the Notepad++. Try to decompile the model again and VOILA! It worked :D

You can thank me later ;)
Also, thanks for the guys @gamebanana for telling me (not really, it wasn't a tutorials and the thread has never come to conclusion) how to bypass the errors!
